The course research project asks you to select an area of the law that you have found to be of particular professional or personal interest. Once you have selected the area of interest (e.g. sexual harassment), prepare a short paper based on the following objectives:

1. Select two cases from the textbook that illustrate past and/or current legal theories regarding this aspect of the law. Summarize these cases, being sure to give the legal reasoning behind the court's decision. Be sure to consider the setting and time frame in which the decision was made.

2. Research a minimum of two additional, recent cases that address this area of the law. Summarize these cases, being sure to cite them in the proper manner.

3. Make a prediction on how this area of the law will develop in the future: Answer the following questions:

a. What are the implications for hospitality professionals and business owners, in terms of operational concerns? In what ways, if any, do you think that operators will change their business practices as a result of these rulings.

b. Will there be any major changes in this area of the law in the near future?

c. What effect might these cases have on your career as a future hospitality professional?

Papers are to be typed, double-spaced, references to follow APA style.

There is no minimum or maximum length. In the past, papers on this topic have ranged from 5-8 pages, including references.
